Last year I competed in the RTA Autobahn event and placed 2nd in Street AWD. For 2010, Redline Time Attack will make it's closest stop to me next month - June 12 @ Autobahn. It's the only stop within a 15 hour drive for me on the 2010 schedule. I have yet to decide if I will attend the RTA event or NASA @ BlackHawk Farms which coincide on the same weekend - or split Sat with NASA & Sunday with RTA.

RTA is under new ownership this year and as such, has a revised rule setup for the classes. For me to run in Street AWD again, I would need to address a few issues:

Last weekend was the NASA Midwest/Great Lakes crossover event at Putnam Park just outside Indianapolis. We had a total of 38 cars in the TT group hammering around the 1.77 mile track. I ran TTB and ended up First in class both days out of 4, and 7th fastest overall with a 1:18.0. My goal was the class record which I missed by .3.

Besides some pesky stock intercooler hose issues and dodging the raindrops, the weekend went very smooth. It's so great to have an AMS tune that you can beat on without worrying!

Purchased a toolbox and had it mounted to the front of my aluminum trailer. Had a difficult time finding anyone in the area that would work on an aluminum trailer actually. In the end, it was reinforced and bolted down. The inside looks to be safe from the elements (aka rain). Hopefully make packing quicker, easier and free up some room for more tires!
